Start off with basic circles, for example, one large one for the base of the head and two smaller ones for ears. If you are drawing the full body you should start off with basic shapes. Usually, when I draw I only start with shapes like ovals and squares to then move on to detailing.

To draw Mickey Mouse, start by drawing a circle with 2 smaller circles on top of it for ears. Next, make the nose by drawing an oval just below the center of the big circle with a horizontal line curving downward right above it. Then, draw 2 ovals with a small circle at the bottom of each one on top of the curved line to make the eyes. After you draw the eyes, draw Mickey's smile below his nose, using an "M" shape to make his tongue. Finally, draw the outline of Mickey's face so that his cheeks are sticking out at the sides.
